Hi Neighbors,

On November 9th at 10 AM the Board will be voting on the 2009 budget. This year’s Budget Committee worked very hard in running down costs as to the possible replacements of various items in the community. There was debate over various issues including a new pest and fertilizer vendor. The new vendor is Nick Feliciano, Inc. They are a family-owned business and have toured our property, as had other companies, prior to submitting a bid to service our property. They all made recommendations to a group of residents, which than was brought up to the whole budget committee. This company is going to be pro-active and look for problems rather than wait for regularly scheduled service dates when the problem could be out of control. We have replaced the existing contractor and NFI will start the work on November 3, 2008. A special thanks to all those who worked with the Budget Committee in gathering numbers and participating in the debates on the issues.    

The annual meeting is set for November 15th, 2008 @ 1 PM. This is where the Board is elected to serve thru the next annual meeting. Please plan to attend or at least send in your proxies to GRS.

Please make sure that GRS has your current address for them to send out the coupon books, once the budget has been voted on, this coming month.  You all know you have this responsibility to pay each quarter, so no excuses for not paying your maintenance.  The next quarter is due January 1, 2009.  

I guess the dog owners need a reminder to pick up after your dogs.  I went out the other day to find a nice surprise on my front lawn.  If you can't pick up after your dog, have them do their duty on your property.  

This month we had 25 kids up at the pool one evening, without adult supervision. The pool is not a place for your own pool party.  You can make arrangements to rent the clubhouse, which requires a fee. If it happens again, the Board will have to consider removing your privileges for some time.  The Board will also have to consider penalizing the families that let their children drive play vehicles around the tennis courts.  The tennis courts will be getting a new surface for tennis playing only. Your children are not allowed in the tennis area without supervision and the courts are only to be used to play tennis.  

Hope we have a good attendance for the upcoming election.

If you see suspicious behavior on our property, please call the police.  It's their job to take action and investigate. If enough calls are made there would be an increase in local patrols. If you see kids jumping the fences in order to get to school, please call the principal. The school has it's own police officers. Please be careful when confronting strangers, it's easier to watch from a distance and call the police.

If you are using an online billpay service to pay your maintenance fees, please keep in mind that your  bank is actually mailing a check for you. The PO box where your regular payments are made cannot process online billpay checks and forwards them directly to G.R.S., which delays the processing of your payment. Please follow these instructions if you wish to pay online:
